Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To study the effectiveness Yoga of Immortals (YOI) intervention in participants with urinary incontinence (UI) of all types. YOI uniquely combines specific yogic postures, breathing exercises, sound therapy & meditation and is practiced by many for general well-being.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

In this App-based cohort study, a survey was sent to the YOI app subscribers. Those who identified with UI and consented were sent the ICIQ-UI- SF (for mean symptom score & severity of UI), and the ICIQ-LUTS-QOL (for impact of UI on QOL) Questionnaires at baseline, 4, and 8 weeks. Global impression of improvement was assessed by PGI-I scale.

RESULTS

258/422 participants (18-74 years) were included and showed significant decrease in mean scores on the ICIQ-UI-SF (4.06 ± 0.24 at baseline; 2.90 ± 0.22 at 4-weeks [p ≤ 0.001] and 3.44 ± 0.23 at 8 weeks [p ≤ 0.001]) and ICIQ-LUTS-QOL (28.36± 0.74 at baseline; 24.46± 0.70 at 4-weeks [p ≤ 0.001] and 25.78± 0.70 at 8 weeks [p≤ 0.001]). Additionally, the 55-60 year subgroup also had significant decrease in mean scores on ICIQ-LUTS-QOL (25.06 ±1.20 at base line; 21.69 ± 1.07 at 4 weeks [p ≤ 0.01] and 22.28 ± 0.96 at 8 weeks [p ≤ 0.01]).

CONCLUSION

YOI intervention resulted in significant improvement in mean scores on ICIQ-LUTS-QOL; ICIQ-UI-SF; frequency and severity of urinary leak; and daily life activity. Majority of the participants felt 'very much better' on PGI-scale. Being app- based, it has the added advantage of the ability to be used anytime and anywhere.

摘要

目的

研究瑜伽仙人（YOI）干预对各种类型尿失禁（UI）患者的疗效。YOI 独特地结合了特定的瑜伽姿势、呼吸练习、声音疗法和冥想，许多人都将其用于整体健康。

材料和方法

在这项基于应用程序的队列研究中，向 YOI 应用程序用户发送了一份调查。那些自我认同患有 UI 并同意的人在基线、4 周和 8 周时被发送了 ICIQ-UI-SF（用于平均症状评分和 UI 的严重程度）和 ICIQ-LUTS-QOL（用于 UI 对生活质量的影响）问卷。通过 PGI-I 量表评估整体改善印象。

结果

258/422 名参与者（18-74 岁）被纳入研究，ICIQ-UI-SF 的平均评分显著下降（基线时为 4.06 ± 0.24；4 周时为 2.90 ± 0.22[ p ≤ 0.001]，8 周时为 3.44 ± 0.23[ p ≤ 0.001]）和 ICIQ-LUTS-QOL（基线时为 28.36 ± 0.74；4 周时为 24.46 ± 0.70[ p ≤ 0.001]，8 周时为 25.78 ± 0.70[ p ≤ 0.001]）。此外，55-60 岁亚组在 ICIQ-LUTS-QOL 的平均评分上也有显著下降（基线时为 25.06 ± 1.20；4 周时为 21.69 ± 1.07[ p ≤ 0.01]，8 周时为 22.28 ± 0.96[ p ≤ 0.01]）。
